This is the same young eagle but the camera set the speed at 1/160 second, so it is slightly sharper (less movement while the shutter was open). It was probably pretty lucky also in relative lack of raft motion. Here it is unfolding its wings just as it took off.

This is the young eagle in flight. I chose this picture over another also in flight a moment later because the sky was the background. While I mention the sky, notice the darkness. It was about 10 AM at this time, still not too much light. This was 300 mm, f/11/ ISO 1600, 1/500 sec.

This was a young eagle eating fish probably brought to it by the parent beside it. 300 mm, f/10, ISO 1600, exp 1/250, and blurrymainly from raft motion, Because nothing is in focus, it is not a focus problem.

I guess parent did not fly off. f/10, 1/200 sec
Bald eagles can swim but if their feathers get wet they can die of hypothermia, so they won't swim long and often ruffle their feathers to dry them.

Another young eagle, maybe 4 years old, just before getting its white cap and tail feathers. This is the last of 9 shots, and all are only fair, this one is good, but not great. 300mm, f/10 1600 ISO, 1/250 sec. It is good, because maybe the shutter went off just as the bobbing raft stopped and started back up.

Even as the morning wore one, it remained overcast, and the lack of light to photograph was complicated by the mist, which was beautiful, but extinguished the light to the camera detector. 7mm, f/10, ISO 1600, 1/400 sec.

Same bird as last, I liked the two angles of the head. Note all good bird shots "get the eye." ISO 1600, f/10, 1/250 sec.

Eagle nest in the tree. They are huge befitting the birds. They mate for life, nesting year after year in the same nest adding some each year as a mating ritual, until the parasites drive them out, when they start over. 70mm, ISO 1600, f/9, 1/160 sec.

Grizzly track as it left the river. 10-12" long. Our raft guide rowed us over to the river and jumped out to secure us to shore and show us. I'll always wonder how he knew it was there. Unless.....Nahhh....He wouldn't have done that.
